As analysts, we should always strive to learn more and improving our skills. But the best way to learn is to put your knowledge to the test. Rather than just telling you how to diagnose faults or deliver case studies that you simply listen to, in this session you will be provided with machinery information and data and you will have to make assessments and make decisions. If you get it right – well done! If you don’t, no one will even know, but you will have learned an important lesson!
